Last night’s “Saturday Night Live”
featured host Jesse Eisenberg and a surprise visit from Mark Zuckerberg. But, in
the end, musical guest Nicki Minaj stole the show. The rapper and singer showed
off strong comedic chops, appearing more comfortable onstage than the veteran
actors around her.

Minaj performed two songs during the
program (”Moment 4 Life” and “Right Thru Me”), and also appeared in a couple
skits, including “Bride of Blackenstein,” a send-up of blacksploitation films.
The bit featured Jay Pharoah as Dr. Blackenstein, Kenan Thompson as the
monster, Eisenberg as Igor, and Minaj as the bride.

Somebody get her a big-screen movie
role, quick.
